CRAFTING WITH GOOGLY EYES
I'm not sure if crafts or laughs was the intended purpose for the googly eyes when they were invented.
All I could find out from the internet was that this guy wrote a comic book in which the characters had googly looking eyes and he might have created the plastic googly eyes that we are talking about today. Learn more about the googly eye inventor here

But How do I stick googly eyes to things?
You might be asking. If you want to have fun or craft with googly eyes too, I've found some good deals on Amazon *Disclosure- I am an Amazon Affiliate*
You can buy googly eyes with adhesive already stuck to the back
Or buy "glue dots" and create your own sticky eyes
I've also used crafting glue to attach them to things like this wood skull
